I bow to you... Twitter employee who shutdown Dotards account ...

http://money.cnn.com/2017/11/02/technology/donald-trump-twitter/index.html

President Trump's verified @realDonaldTrump account briefly went offline. Anyone who navigated to his feed was given a generic blue landing page that read, "Sorry, that page doesn't exist!"
And in a stunning plot twist, the world later learned it wasn't a glitch -- but the work of a Twitter employee on his or her last day at work.
Initially, one of the social media site's verified accounts said Trump's feed was "inadvertently deactivated due to a human error." But a couple of hours later, Twitter announced further investigation revealed "a Twitter customer support employee ... did this on the employee's last day."
The company said it's conducting "a full internal review" of the incident.

regardless whether or not it is through a disgruntled employee or Russian hackers. Cyber warfare will be our downfall since Facebook and Twitter are more interested in raking in the cash (rubles) than who is actulally paying for it and how it is being used (treason). Feinstein told this to the lawyers representing the absent CEOs at yesterday's hearings.

Please do not respond with rude replies all you Facebook and Twitter defenders. There is free speech and capitalism that does not include treason/collusion and you know it so spare me your insults. I have heard it all from you before.
